Depth of field: The clearest/sharpest point of the picture... the focal point. When you want the entire image to be sharp, there is a large depth of field. In contrast, when you want only a small portion of the picture to be sharp, it is a small depth of field. The depth of field is determined by the proximity of the camera to the subject.
Shutter Speed:
The exposure time... Faster shutters require a larger aperture, while slower shutters are accompanied with a smaller aperture. Slow shutters are used in dim lighting in order to capture the maximum light possible. Noise: Random variations in color or brightness in an image. Image noise is generally thought of as undesirable, because they are unnecessary fluctuations in the photo. Other times, it can be beneficial, depending on the goal of the photographer.
Histogram: Graph which shows the distribution of tone throughout the eye. By looking at the histogram, the viewer will be able to judge the distribution of tone throughout the picture. They show all highlights and shadows. Burst Mode:
Mode in SLR cameras. Several images are captured with one press of the shutter. This mode is most useful when the subject is in motion. White Balance: Removes unrealistic color casts... Must take into account color temperature, meaning the coolness or warmth of the area which you are photographing. Self timer:
Optional feature on a camera which delays the time between pressing the shutter and the shutter from firing when enabled. It is often used to reduce camera shake in low light. The added time allows the camera to become more secure.
Pixels: Every picture contains pixels, which goes to determine the color and/or intensity. There is color depth and bits which is the precision. The less pixels you have, the poorer quality/color it will have. The more pixels the better the picture will turn out.
Auto Focus vs Manual Focus: Auto Focus is a feature on the camera where it focuses on the image itself while manual you can do it yourself.
(Manual Focus) (Auto Focus) ISO (international standardization organization): ISO measures sensitivity. If the number is low then it is less sensitive the camera is to the light. If there is a low number the less blurry the photography will turn out.
File Format:
raw – When using .raw the camera will not perform any conversions, sharpening, sizing or color rebalancing. You have more control over the final look of the photograph. While using this, it makes it easier to manipulate the picture. .Jpeg is primarily used for a high-quality image. These file formats are easy to transfer across the internet and also easy to transfer as e-mail attachments. While being uploaded the picture may lose some quality.
Tiff.- These images normally uses no compression, and loses no data. It is used more in graphics and the publishing industry
